Apple's Eddy Cue to testify in DOJ trial, defends Google as superior search engine choice for iPhone

  • 8 months ago
Apple senior vice president of services Eddy Cue is expected to testify on Tuesday in federal court where the U.S. Department of Justice is accusing Google of using licensing agreements to monopolize online search. Cue will testify that Apple chose Google as the iPhone's default search engine because it was the superior product at the time and that Apple sees no need to build its search engine since users already have quality options like Google. Cue will also note that Apple has revenue sharing agreements with other search engines that iPhone users can set as defaults. Google pays Apple billions of dollars annually to be the default search engine on the iPhone browser and other settings. This deal is under scrutiny in the trial.
